Imperialism And Liberty

By Morrison Isaac Swift

Book Overview

Imperialism and Liberty is a book written by Morrison I. Swift that explores the relationship between imperialism and liberty. The book delves into the concept of imperialism and how it affects the liberty of individuals and nations. It provides a historical perspective on imperialism, tracing its roots from ancient empires to modern-day empires. The book also discusses the impact of imperialism on different regions of the world, including Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Swift argues that imperialism is a threat to individual and national liberty, as it often involves the subjugation of one group of people by another. He also explores the ways in which imperialism has been justified throughout history, including the idea of the ""white man's burden"" and the belief in the superiority of Western culture. The book also examines the role of imperialism in the formation of the modern global economy, including the exploitation of resources and labor in colonized countries. Swift argues that imperialism has contributed to economic inequality and poverty in many parts of the world. Overall, Imperialism and Liberty provides a critical analysis of imperialism and its impact on individual and national liberty. It is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to reconsider their views on imperialism and its role in shaping the world today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
